<p>I’d say in to all because you are latino.</p>

3

<p>yea you have a good chance at acceptance…but a 5.0 cumulative gpa is impossible.</p>

4

<p>i would say you have a good chance, but it is in no way a guarantee. The valedictorian at my school, which usually sends around 5-10 kids to HYP, got rejected by Stanford early.</p>

5

<p>You have good chances with all those schools. The only thing that you shouldve tried to change was to bring up your SAT I scores.</p>

6

<p>WHy don’t you apply to Harvard?</p>

7

<p>your ACT and SAT scores are not very good, considering you had a 5.0 weighted GPA, but because your latino, you have a good chance</p>

<p>^^^I disagree. I just think it’s a slightly average SAT score. It’s still good, and we aren’t considering socio-economic effects. perhaps the applicant hadn’t seen the SAT format before. perhaps he didn’t have enough money for a prep course. just things that the adcoms might think about. I think you are in at all your schools (or at least a great chance) by the the way.</p>

9

<p>yea, it’s a good SAT score, but wouldn’t you expect a higher score for the #1 student in the class and a perfect GPA?</p>
